Every person you mentioned is also a public figure. They speak about other public figures. You voided your own argument. The other poster also correctly pointed out that he wasn't speaking to five people. If you tell five people something that many people would be offended at it is a completely different thing than doing it in a forum where thousands if not tens of thousands hear what is said. As I stated earlier. Whether or not he wins, Cromity has the right to his day in court.
